Practicing my Miss America smile.
Smiling in SL is challenging, and the default emotes are so limited, and so dated.

LaGyo – Mescal Earrings (Gold)

I love autumn landscaping in SL so much! It’s so beautiful, cozy, and colorful. I hope that residents in SL don’t rush towards snowy winter landscaping too early this year, so we can enjoy a longer virtual autumn season and not rush right into Christmas. I’m at KiLu, if you want to visit this gorgeous sim!
My sweet outfit today consists of the Annabelle Dress and Leonie Cardigan from The Secret Store, for Collabor88. My hair is the Looking Back style from Exile, for We Love RP, accessorized with a headband. I am wearing the new Sydney Booties from Ingenue in Nutmeg color, which matches perfectly with my belt! I love when I’m able to match colors from different brands together.

Hello from the sandy shores of Sillywood! This adorable little beach and boardwalk spot is the absolute best for a casual walk or snagging some great pics for your blog. I’ve got a thing for beachy scenes in Second Life, and boardwalks? Yes, please!
So today, I started to tidying up my inventory a bit (I didn’t get very far), but I did find lots of cute items that I bought recently. I decided to mix and match some of my faves from last month with a few fresh finds from this weekend’s sales events. This Mattie Long Sweater Dress from Ison is everything! The color choices are fab, and it’s comes with two HUDs that lets you switch up the under shirt or sweater colors. And these Worn Block Sneakers Stickers Edt. by Semller? Utterly adorable and a steal during the sale.

‘Tis the season for free updates! LOGO Chloe v5 update is available and it is fabulous! I have always loved this face and default skin, no applier needed to wear it right out of the box. Of course, you can wear the skin applier of your choice, but I find the default skin very pretty and haven’t found anything that comes this close.
When I first introduced Chloe on my blog and wore it regularly on my blog posts, a lot of readers commented that the face resembled Gogo’s usual SL face, and I would have to agree! I feel ‘me’ in this head, it’s very youthful and the skin just radiates!
Are you as excited by free updates as I am?
What I’m Wearing:
LOGO Chloe v5
Truth Hair – Focus
Teefy – Oversized Cozy Scarf (Plaid)
Hello from Korea City! If you’ve ever wanted to be in Seoul and step into your own picturesque K-drama scenery, check out this destination.
Anthology has just opened for another round! I love this Cheeky Umbrella from Kresendo. The HUD features many colors and patterns to change the umbrella top, handle, and details. You may feel a little blush at some of the default text on the umbrella; it’s filled with sexual innuendos related to rain. There is also the option to turn off the text, but I left it on and tinted the color to a nice shade that I call Second Life blue, which also happens to be my favorite color.
I don’t typically mix and match outfits, but today’s ensemble was a happy accident. I am wearing the Emm Jacket from Red Girl, it’s so well made and comes in a few basic colors. I paired it with the skirt from the Christmas Clothes Set by Art&Ko. To complete the outfit, I am wearing the Jacinta boots from CULT. This whole outfit is super cute for the city look, I’m saving it as a new default Gogo.
This new Pillow hairstyle from Truth is so casual and cute, with a great hairline. I’ve started wearing dark roots with some of my blonde hairstyles, and I think it adds a lot of depth to the hair. As I was photographing today’s look, I realized that Second Life is so beautiful; we’ve come a long way. You don’t need to enhance it with AI at all. My photos authentically represent Second Life with minimal edits. Most of the time, I just adjust the color and crop the photo; I don’t have the patience to spend a lot of time post-processing.

I was on a tattoo binge last week, and stumbled upon Sticky Kiss. Even though I don’t know where I’ll ever wear these, I just love how realistic they looked, and these would probably make for some fabulous action (falling off my bike type) photos!
I picked up two Bloody Knee tattoos, a stitches and a band-aid for the face. These are rather tame compared to some of the other stuff available from this brand. There’s also bloody noses, some bruises, and a couple of other things an RP’er might like.
Check out Sticky Kiss!

Hello,
Looking at your recent posts with a smile on your avatar, I have been wondering if you’re using a mesh mouth attachment or just an emote HUD.
I have seen some mouth smiling mouth attachment somewhere basically for photography but I don’t remember where. Are you using one of those?
I’m not using a mesh mouth, I haven’t found any that I like.
When I put a smile I wear a shape that has VERY wide eyes. That way, my eyes don’t look all squinty.
